Sample Book Insights:
#1 I left Khartoum as a popular and charming preteen, and I landed in Canada as an immigrant and a Black person. When the customs agent stamped my passport and said, Welcome to Canada, he left out the also, you’re Black now part.
#2 The Battle of Atbara was the turning point of the war between Mahdist Sudan and the British troops. It was in April 1898 when Herbert Kitchener’s army defeated 15,000 Sudanese soldiers. The vanquished unit’s commander, Emir Mahmud Ahmad, was captured and taken to Kitchener in shackles.
#3 I tried to like hip hop, but I couldn’t see myself in it. I had grown up in a conservative Sudanese home, and everything about my life in Sudan told me to run away from that world.
#4 I grew up in Sudan, and though I was Arab, I rarely thought about my skin color. I knew that my family had social standing. The skin colors I did think about were those of Southern Sudanese people in Khartoum, who were Black: their skin several shades darker than mine.
